Biography
Ali was born in 1030 to a Sunni Muslim Bedouin family, the Shirazids. Ali succeeded his father Emir Da'ud of Shirazid Emirate at the age of two; his father died at the young age of 32, forcing Ali to live under a regent for at least the first decade of his reign. Ali later became an independent monarch after coming of age, and he reigned over the regions of Tadjoura, Harer, and Zeila in present-day Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Somalia, respectively. The Shirazid Emirate was a Muslim stronghold in the Horn of Africa, although they did not intervene in Axum's war against the County of Assab.
